Plot

Tenussian Vaccuvasco (the word does not have any meaning except
perhaps a state of chaos, and is just another word play by Shokof)
was made in Berlin , Germany in 2000. It was
produced by Taies Farzan , and was shot in 3 days with digital
cameras and had a cast of over 100 people who had to undergo
amazing physical burdens for the film.

Each window in the building shows the life of a crowd and or
residents in the apartment in the building block. Residents differ
from Boxers to drug dealers to lovers and or a Maniac couple
slapping each other in the face for fun. Their funny ritual of
slapping each other in the face ends in a bloody finale. as the
film continues the stories begin to become more intertwined, and
complicated.Finally they start to directly relate to one another,
and begin to even collide and connect. The hilarious situations
peak as people start going into other people's apartments through
the open windows in the building block. The party people enter the
room of the drug dealer and steal the drugs that actually belongs
to bad group of organized crime people who are after the dealer
anyway, and will later find him to clear their accounts. many
different situations and absurd dramaturgy of each scene in each
apartment keeps the tenants busy and engaged with humorous
results.

Soon more twists and troubles prevail alongside much fun and
comedy moments that give the whole film a layer of
lightheartedness. Shokof explained that some of the actors had to
run up and down the stairs in order to be ready to act in the next
scene and in a different apartment more than 5 times in a single
hour to keep the continuity of the scenes intact as they had to
shoot without a "cut". The Boxers had to box for over half an hour
in their room on the fourth floor before the crane and camera could
have reached them after covering other stories from the first floor
up and "uncut".the boxers had to remain boxingfor almost an hour to
keep the film in continuity when the camera finally reached their
scnen on the fourth floor.

The music contributions by Legendary Ravi Shankar and Mikis
Theodorakis, Dissidenten , Geheimbund , and Taies Farzan
make the whole film a popular one for regular movie viewers even
though the film remains an experimental effort to the end.
